How many Bulimics in this site? Sound off.
I need help. This was the worst 4 days in 9 months. 7 episodes and I could not stop myself. I am back to square one searching the Internet for help. I thought therapy was helping but I fear it is making it worse because of my attachment to my therapist and the overwhelming need for his nurturing. Since he stopped giving it and my husband went away for a few days my binge/purge went into overdrive only showing me I have gotten no where in therapy and maybe I need a different approach.
I still live in shame, I refuse to be exposed about my illness to my husband or anyone else for that matter. I just will not tell so there goes any intensive out patient treatment.
What has helped for you?

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
